The Roebling earned Best City Hybrid in Bicycling Magazine's roundup. Here's what they had to say about our chromoly commuter bike.

The Bedford 8 proves that commuter bikes don't need to look boring. Brooklyn Bicycle Co. designed the Bedford around classic city-bike aesthetics while still delivering modern functionality and surprisingly strong performance.

"I’ve been cruising around on the Driggs 8i Disc for the past couple of months. I’ve been taking it out for neighborhood rips, grocery runs, meeting up with friends, and even a few longer pedals (for a city bike) in the fifteen-mile range. While it is obviously quite simple, I’ve been impressed by its performance on the streets and hills in and around my home in Reno, Nevada. The best part? In my opinion, this bike just looks fantastic."

"New York City is full of bike lanes, so of course Brooklyn has its very own cycling company. Brooklyn Bicycle Co. names all its bikes after the streets of Brooklyn and designs all of them in the city to keep things close to home. The Franklin Speed 3 is lightweight, has three-speed internal gears, is all-weather ready, and has puncture-resistant tires. Got a kid or a pup? You can also attach a child seat or trailer to the back to bring them for the ride."

It covers just enough of the “need-to-haves” to get you anywhere you need to go without too much effort, while still providing the “want-to-have” vintage city bike cool factor. The more upright frame comfortably accommodated my taller-than-normal 5’10” height, which is something I’ve often had a hard time finding in a city bike. If you only want one bike to dash around town on, and it doesn’t need to be a real workhorse, this is a great middle-of-the-road option that will up your style game and definitely get you more than a few appreciative glances.

The Brooklyn Lorimer is a versatile commuter bike, blending practicality with performance and affordability, $699. Featuring a durable chromoly steel frame and fork, it boasts a Shimano nine-speed drivetrain for reliable functionality. Weighing 27.1 lb. in size L, it strikes a balance between sturdiness, style and maneuverability. The bike is equipped with alloy linear-pull brakes, quick-fire trigger shifters, and 700×35 puncture-resistant tires for urban exploration. Despite its lightweight design, the Lorimer doesn’t compromise on comfort, offering a wide saddle and user-friendly features.
